HYPERSONIC and Supersonic flow problems
Ronald Fedkiw
research in hypersonic flows and/or supersonic flows... shocks, chemical
reactions, viscous boundry layers, etc.
The problem is that I am a mathematician, not an engineer.
(No jokes on the size of this problem, thanx)
As a mathematician, I am aware of compressible flow theory, but have had
little exposure to hypersonic flow theory.
If anyone out there knows what the current hot topics of interest, in
hypersonic (on the shy side, say Mach 3 to Mach 10; although Mach 30 info is
ok too!) flows are, please send me some info. (email)
In particular, I am interested in handeling cfd problems ... as opposed to
modeling. But, I'll take all the information I can get right now.
(This was sent out once before, but seemed to have gotten mixed up, sorry
for the repetition .. if any)

John D. Anderson's book is a good recent book on hypersonics and he has
good list bibliography that covers a lot of recent research in Hypersonics.
Shock/Boundary layer interaction and related scramjet technology relating
to the NASP program is the hot stuff in hypersonics. There are volumes
written on Hypersonic research topics in several proceedings of AIAA/AIChe
conferences. Chul Park at NASA/Ames does chemical reaction and rarified
gas stuff. Calspan people at BUffalo, NY do a lot of shock tunnel simula-
tions.
